Edit Mode
- Al estar en modo editar, una barra se desplegará en la parte superior y se podrá buscar waypoints y agregarlos a la ruta. Se pueden agregar numerosos puntos separandolos por un espacio.
- Se podrá observar:
- Cantidad de piernas, distancia total y ETE dependiendo de la velocidad crucero de la aeronave y el viento.
- Curso magnético o verdadero (dependiendo de los Ajustes) entre las piernas y el rumbo si el viento ha sido actualizado desde el panel Totales.
- Distancia entre piernas
- ETE entre puntos dependiendo de la velocidad crucero de la aeronave y el viento.
- Presionando en el ícono rojo que se encuentra al lado del waypoint le permitirá eliminarlo
- Al presionar el nombre del waypoint, el mapa se centrará en él
- Se puede ver información sobre el waypoint y realizar distintas acciones presionando en la "I" amarilla.
- Al presionar en las tres líneas ubicadas al costado de los puntos, se podrán reordenar arrastrándolos hacia arriba o hacia abajo
- En un iPad, al presionar el triángulo amarillo ubicado en la esquina inferior derecha, se esconderá el segundo instrumento y solo se mostrará el instrumento de ruta en el costado izquierdo.
Al presionar en el número amarillo al lado del PLN se podrá configurar una altitud planificada para antes y después de llegar al waypoint. Si hay un cambio en la altitud sobre el waypoint, dos números aparecerán separados por una barra (/).
Modo de vuelo
- Al no estar en Modo Editar, se podrán ver las siguientes cosas:
- Waypoints que ya han sido sobrevolados en color azul
- El próximo waypoint en magenta
- Distancia desde la posición actual a los waypoints próximos
- Rumbo al próximo waypoint desde la posición actual
- Altitud planificada de sobrevuelo. Si ocurre un cambio en la altitud planificada en este punto, se mostrará dividido en antes y después con una barra (/).
- ETA, ETE al siguiente waypoint y ETE entre los próximos waypoints tomando en cuenta la velocidad de pista actual.
- Al presionar sobre un waypoint, se lo podrá seleccionar como el próximo y usarlo para los instrumentos.
- Se puede ver información sobre el waypoint y realizar distintas acciones presionando en la "I" amarilla.
Summary
The Summary section will display the name of the route, departure and arrival airport, the number of legs, distance and ETA. When tapping on the Route a new menu will open with further options.
General
- Date of Flight
- Set the date and time of departure for this route.
- Pilot in command
- Set the pilot flying this route.
- Aircraft

- Round flight time up
- Always round times to the next minute
- Account for climb/descent in time estimate
- Adds time penalties during climbs and bonuses during descents
- Show ETA and date
- Prints date of flight and ETA on the operational flightplan
- Corridor width
- Set a corridor width for computing the MSA (Minimum Safe Altitude). The corridor will also be visible as a red area on the Elevation Graph.
- If you set a corridor width of 3NM, Air Navigation Pro will look for the MSA on the area belonging to a corridor of 3NM along the route. Keep in mind, that Air Navigation Pro uses the MSA to calculate the TAS. A higher MSA will mean a higher TAS.

Legs
Will display information about the legs of the Route. While flying, it will display the actual distance and bearing to next waypoint.
Pressing the "i" at the right of every WP will show information of the WP and the option to select it or center it on the map.
